The main configuration parameters

Here, we will try to talk about the main configuration parameters for frontend performance used by Zabbix. When considering basic items to ensure acceptable performance from the implementation of Zabbix, we basically have to activate the compression modules (mod_compress, mod_gzip, mod_deflate, and so on) in those web servers in this chapter.

Compression in Apache

For Apache, it is important to ensure that we are with the active compression module. Therefore, we must verify that mod_deflate and/or mod_gzip are installed and configured.

In httpd.conf (the location will vary according to your operational system), perform these steps:

  • Check whether the module is active:
    [root]# grep deflate_module /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf ...
